Very nice looking gecko! Just in case, feel like I should mention--given that you don't seem to be calcium-dusting, you should make sure to really gut-load the insects to make sure the Ca-P ratio is fine.

I'm always impressed that such a big animal can hang by its toes off a glass wall.

Cute fella... If you like to handle your geckos, the time will come when he eventually bites and probably wont let go - Tokay's and some monitors are notorious for this. If possible, turn him over on his back, which will disorient and will usually let go in a few minutes (sometimes wrapping him up in a towel helps before turning on back) . If that doesn't work try dunking him in cold water!

Zeus will never be handled by me unless he needs to go to the vets. He doesn't like me and that's fine.

I little bit dies in me when I see a tame Tokay. It's like it's been broken.

I was bit by the Tokay I had many years ago. The little sod hung on for an hour. Hurt a bit too for such a small lizard.

Awesome Gecko. I have seen them barking on the roof of the patio in my hotel in Bali, Indonesia and I have seen little eggs all over the walls in a garbage area in Bangkok, Thailand. They are well adapted to human habitations and I think their pissy nature helps them.

They are great at clearing pests and taking out annoying moths so I can well imagine they'd be encouraged to take up resident. I know I'd sooner clean a little bit of shite up than have pests running around.

My guy is tame but he is still a little dick. He runs to the entrance towards my hands when he wants to come out and if he does not want to hangout with me he stays in his cage and if i try to take him out his wrath is fierce so i just let him decide. When he is out he crawls on me like a tree or jumps to the nearest wall and scurries about.
